Keep Subject's death appears in ABC News, NBC, CBS, CNN, People Magazine and these media outlets would not cover a non-notable subject or death. Also appearing on a popular national U.S television show with a worldwide audience makes a person notable enough that their death is covered by ABC, NBC, CNN etc. Even Rolling Stone covered her death.

 * I don't dispute that the subject can be found in articles from multiple sources, but that's still means she is notable for one event only. Events have to have a WP:LASTING impact in order to be included. Otherwise we would just write an article on every single event that appears in the news.--Rusf10 (talk) 01:44, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Regarding this person's notability WP:NTEMP is the applicable guide. WP:SIGCOV is easily met. In addition many more contradictory guidelines exist to vote either way. WP:PRESERVE WP:ATD WP:NOTPAPER. Tonereport (☎</b>) (My Work) 19:38, 23 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep - This is not an example of WP:BLP1E, as stated by the nom. The subject was a two-time American Idol contestant, not just one appearance. Notability is shown through the multiple and wide-reaching coverage of each TV performance because of the subject's expletive-filled rants at the judges as well as her bad singing. Then, when the subject was killed, local, national and international (the BBC) traditional media covered her death plus the ensuing indictment of the driver in the hit-and-run accident that killed her. WP:GNG is clearly met through the extensive coverage. As for WP:LASTING impact, the subject is one of eight Idol contestants who have died and the subject is included in every story written about the deaths (the subject was the 2nd Idol contestant to die). -AuthorAuthor (talk) 01:03, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
